Danfe Ghar Aayo

By Chalise Kancha

Calgary, AB. September 5. Someone rightly said, "Life starts at 40!" There has not been any good news around for the last many months, Covid-19 has kicked us all apart...we have been talking only about Corona, Covid, mask, social-distancing, testing, vaccination, restrictions, lockdown...etc. So sad, boring and tragic. But today, during this pandemic time...it gives us immense pleasure to share a good news - WE WON DANFE CUP!  Our HIMSOC 40+ TEAM lifted the prestigious  Danfe Cup 2021(40+ Category)

Bimal Raj Puri

Last but not the least, let us give a huge shout-out and appreciation to our yeti Bimal Raj Puri who worked tirelessly for many months along-side yeti Sharad Sherchan to bring #40+JoshAlive in our community, without their push & pull to bring the veterans together for a Sunday Game, this victory would not have been possible.

Hip Hip Hurray!
